2 days agoHere’s the thing though. A lot of the first two books of the New Testament is about how awful the Jews are and how Jesus was a cult leader who got his followers to abandon their families for him and even got his followers to steal for him. Reading Matthew and Mark in the light of today’s politics, Jesus looks like a right-wing grifter. Seems like they’re reading it right to me.
He had them steal a donkey for him, dude. And accepted the full cult leader treatment. Matthew 21:1-11
But we could play verse quoting all day. I encourage you to go back and actually read the first two books from start to end, as I did recently. They’re super fucked-up.
